Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone this week met in London, Great Britain with a potential promoter for a revived Canadian grand prix .
We reported that talks to restore the event are taking place, and it now emerges that Formula 1's chief executive met with Francois Dumontier (photo) about once again promoting a Montreal race.
Dumontier, head of the Stock-Car Montreal company, was involved in the most recent Canadian grands prix, until the deal with Ecclestone broke down after last year's race.
CBC and Radio-Canada report that Dumontier and Ecclestone did not sign a new contract on Tuesday, but their talks were about a race revival as soon as 2010.
A decision is expected next Wednesday, June 24.
